European Union taking trade actions predicted by COGwriter
Donald Trump is boasting that leaders of nations around the world want to negotiate trade with his Administration:
April 7, 2025
President Trump on Monday urged Americans not to panic over tariff-driven turmoil in the markets, and said that “Countries from all over the World are talking to us.”
“The United States has a chance to do something that should have been done DECADES AGO. Don’t be Weak! Don’t be Stupid! Don’t be a PANICAN (A new party based on Weak and Stupid people!). Be Strong, Courageous, and Patient, and GREATNESS will be the result!” Trump posted Monday morning … https://www.zerohedge.com/political/dont-be-weak-dont-be-panican-trump-urges-americans-hold-tight-countries-all-over-world
“I spoke to a lot of leaders, European, Asian, from all over the world,” Trump said. “They’re dying to make a deal. And I said, we’re not going to have deficits with your country. We’re not going to do that, because to me a deficit is a loss. We’re going to have surpluses or at worst, going to be breaking even.” 04/06/25 https://apnews.com/article/trump-tariffs-recession-financial-markets-negotiations-retaliation-860760cdc1aa2cc58853c9aab987e36d
And while many nations do want to negotiate, consider Isaac Newton’s third law of motion that :For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
While nations want their trade to continue with the USA, they are also taking other steps. Steps consistent with predictions I have stated for years.
Consider that in the January-March 2018 edition of the Bible News Prophecy magazine, I wrote the following:
European leaders have stated that they no longer want ‘subservience’ to the USA and want to put “Europe first” (in contrast to the “America first” campaign slogan that Donald Trump has used).
As far as subservience goes, the Europeans realize that they have been subservient to the USA as they have depended upon the military of the USA for protection since World War II ended …
Europe now wants to strengthen its own military, while also increasing its international trade. Europe expects to set the standards for various goods and services as well as the rules for much of the world’s trade.
Related Europe and its military, check out the following: European Union reveals Readiness 2030 program–its way for Europe to be a military superpower–‘EU slams the door on US in colossal defense plan’ and European Army: Final nail in EU coffin or a prophesied reality?
Related to trade, in December 2024, I predicted the following as part of of my list of 25 items to prophetically watch in 2025:
Europe will reach out to various ones in Asia and Africa, as well as Latin America. … in 2025 Europe will work on getting more of the world to accept its standards and trading matters. …
The Europeans will work with many nations to secure stronger trade agreements.
There will be many unintended consequences of Donald Trump’s statements and policies, including relating to trade and tariffs. Notice something from my latest book available at Amazon Kindle: Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump’s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies? as well as Amazon print :
Trade …
One of the unintended consequences of Donald Trump’s threats of tariffs and other trade matters is that it is motivating nations he has threatened to look to trade more with each other.
Europe will get more serious about trade deals with others internationally …
- Pushing tariffs and other policies that foreign nations do not like is contributing to other nations looking to bypass the USA dollar, as well as trade more with each other and less with the USA. This will further push various globalist’s moves forward without the USA. This is also helping set the stage for the coming European Babylonian Beast to dominate international trade.
(Thiel B. Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump’s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies? Nazarene Books, 2025)
So, is the European Union taking actions consistent with those predictions?
Yes.
Notice the following:

EU trade chief calls for ‘paradigm shift’ in international trade
The European Union’s trade chief has said that Monday’s meeting will focus on the “paradigm shift” in international trade.
“What we are going to discuss is how to position Europe in what I would describe as the paradigm shift of the global trading system,” Maros Sefcovic told reporters before meeting with the bloc’s 27 trade ministers.
Ahead of the 20% tariffs against the EU coming into effect on Wednesday, Sefcovic said “our next move in relation vis-a-vis the United States but also how to prepare our trading system back in the European Union to prevent eventual trade diversion.” https://www.dw.com/en/trump-tariffs-eu-ministers-to-meet-as-global-markets-tumble/live-72157811
What the above means is that Europe will try to deal with USA, but at the same time look to export elsewhere. Yes, a paradigm shift in trade is in the process of happening and is consistent with biblical prophecies (e.f. Revelation 18).
Notice several significant examples of Europe looking to trade with other nations:
7 April 2025
Central Asia is suddenly winning friends and attention. …
With transatlantic ties under stress and the war in Ukraine raging, the European Union has been shifting focus toward the five post-Soviet states of Central Asia. Last week, the inaugural EU-Central Asia Summit was held in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. European Council President António Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen attended and met with each Central Asian leaders, with von der Leyen declaring that “for Europe, Central Asia was a partner of choice”. https://www.lowyinstitute.org/the-interpreter/what-explains-europe-s-interest-central-asia
NEW DELHI, April 7 (Reuters) – The European Union wants India to eliminate tariffs on car imports under a long-pending trade deal and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government is willing to sweeten its current proposal to seal the talks, sources told Reuters. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/after-trump-eu-seeks-zero-tariff-india-car-imports-sources-say-2025-04-07/
Senior European Union officials were in South Africa for a summit Thursday with President Cyril Ramaphosa that centers on bolstering trade and diplomatic ties as both feel the impact of the Trump administration’s confrontational foreign policy. … The summit in South Africa will “explore new avenues for economic, trade and investment cooperation, as well as address any challenges and trade irritants,” the European Council said. https://www.africanews.com/2025/03/13/south-africa-eu-summit-focuses-on-trade-ties-amid-trump-effect/
BRUSSELS, April 4 (Reuters) – Striking a trade deal with Latin America’s Mercosur bloc would be a “massive opportunity” for the European Union given uncertainties triggered by U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to introduce a new round of tariffs, an EU spokesperson said on Friday. “We will be investing a lot of time and energy with member states to finalize the deal,” he added. https://www.reuters.com/world/eu-says-trade-deal-with-mercosur-is-massive-opportunity-given-us-tariffs-2025-04-04/
So, that is Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
Remember, last year I predicted:
Europe will reach out to various ones in Asia and Africa, as well as Latin America. … in 2025 Europe will work on getting more of the world to accept its standards and trading matters.
To see more examples, as well as various scriptures related to future trade, we put together the following video:
Trade Wars – and the Winner will be …
US President Trump imposed tariffs on a global scale. Those tariffs were imposed on friend and foe alike. It seems as if President Trump is no respecter of nations. But how will this work out for the United States? Will these tariffs result in other nations drawing closer together that have had rather cold, and even not so cold, relations in the past? Will global tariffs result in trade wars? Were the events which are happening predicted by any in the Continuing Church of God? Is Europe drawing closer to China? Is Europe drawing closer to Latin and South America? With the exception of a few of America’s allies, is the net result of these tariffs a worldwide scramble to create new alliances and new trading partners to the exclusion of the United States? What will be the future result of these new alliances? Many of the nations that are now seeking new alliances were just recently America’s allies. They were her friends. Dr. Thiel brings to light the fate of America and her allies at the hands of her former friends, as revealed in the book of Lamentations. As we rapidly approach the end times listen in as Dr. Thiel brings to light world events. Then listen as he shines the light of Bible prophecy directly on the questions raised from these world events.
Here is a link to our video: Trade Wars – and the Winner will be …
Church of God warnings on trade are coming to pass.
In the Continuing Church of God:
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: (2 Peter 1:19, KJV)
We continue to see international affairs that are aligning with properly explained biblical prophecies.
